The In-Vehicle Apps Market will Reach $1.2 Billion

The two main silos in the telematics industry -- consumer automotive and commercial telematics -- remain the most active areas within the broader M2M (machine to machine) industry.

New applications for telematics reach the market on an almost daily basis through apps, and industry research into areas such as V2x (where vehicles communicate with one another and road infrastructure on-route in real time) is beginning to give a picture of the role that the telematics industry will play in the future automotive market.

The Smart Vehicle will become the new frontier for app developers over the next five years, according to the latest market study by Juniper Research, which now forecasts that the market for in-vehicle apps will be worth just short of $1.2 billion by 2017.

Advancements in automotive connectivity standards such as MirrorLink and ever higher smartphone ownership will create foundations allowing the connected car ecosystem to flourish -- particularly in developed North American and Western Europe markets.

Their new report, Connected Cars: Automotive Telematics & In-Vehicle Infotainment 2013-2017, found that there will be a downward pressure on the price of vehicle manufacturers’ own embedded telematics infotainment services -- as the in-vehicle software app ecosystem matures.

"The biggest winner from the rapid roll-out of smartphone tethering and in-vehicle Apps will be the consumer," says Anthony Cox, analyst at Juniper Research.

Smartphone tethering will enable the creation of a wealth of apps for the vehicle -- just as it did for the smartphone.

The market for embedded telematics systems in both the commercial and consumer areas will also see robust growth as consolidation among regional commercial telematics players begins to give an indication of which players will become a global force in telematics.

Further insights from the market study include:
  • Big Data derived from telematics service provision is likely to emerge as an unexpected revenue driver for telematics companies and automotive manufacturers.
  • The wide-spread deployment of V2V (vehicle to vehicle) and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) technologies remains a long way off, though trials of are on-going in some markets.
  • Insurance telematics is reaching the point of wide-scale deployment particularly in certain markets such as the U.S., Italy and the UK.

AI Semiconductor Revenue will Reach $119.4B

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) and/or the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) will guide Generative AI initiatives within the large enterprise C-Suite. They may already have the technical expertise and experience to understand the capabilities and limitations of Gen AI. They also have the authority and budget to make the necessary investments in infrastructure and talent to support Gen AI initiatives. Enterprise AI infrastructure is proven to be expensive to build, operate and maintain. That's why public cloud service provider solutions are often used for new AI use cases. AI Semiconductor Market Development Semiconductors designed to execute Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads will represent a $53.4 billion revenue opportunity for the global semiconductor industry in 2023, an increase of 20.9 percent from 2022, according to the latest worldwide market study by Gartner. "The developments in generative AI and the increasing use of a wide range AI-based applications in data c

Demand for Quantum Computing as a Service

The enterprise demand for quantum computing is still in its early stages, growing slowly. As the technology becomes more usable, we may see demand evolve beyond scientific applications. The global quantum computing market is forecast to grow from $1.1 billion in 2022 to $7.6 billion in 2027, according to the latest worldwide market study by International Data Corporation (IDC). That's a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 48.1 percent. The forecast includes base Quantum Computing as a Service, as well as enabling and adjacent Quantum Computing as a Service. However, this updated forecast is considerably lower than IDC's previous quantum computing forecast, which was published in 2021, due to lower demand globally. Quantum Computing Market Development In the interim, customer spend for quantum computing has been negatively impacted by several factors, including: slower than expected advances in quantum hardware development, which have delayed potential return on inve

Industrial Cloud Computing Apps Gain Momentum

In the manufacturing industry, cloud computing can help leaders improve their production efficiency by providing them with real-time data about their operations. This has gained the attention of the C-suite. Total forecast Industrial Cloud platform revenue in manufacturing will surpass $300 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 22.57 percent, driven by solution providers enhancing platform interoperability while expanding partner ecosystems for application development. ABI Research found the cloud computing manufacturing market will grow over the next decade due to the adoption of new architectural frameworks that enhance data extraction and interoperability for manufacturers looking to maximize utility from their data. Industrial Cloud Computing Market Development "Historically, manufacturers have built out their infrastructure to include expensive data housing in the form of on-premises servers. The large initial upfront cost of purchasing, setting up, and maintaining these servers is
